Everyone is Welcome!
El Museo ¡Ajá!
is a different kind of space: it offers workshops, film screenings, and
conferences about current global and national issues and an opportunity
to actively participate.
“Some
people will tell me that I am losing, but I say
that it takes time, and you just need to figure out how to manifest
peace. Peace is a given possibility for each one of us, which doesn’t
mean you will do it. But it does mean you can do it. You are a human
being, therefore you can be humane.”

 Who Are We?
The museum is a project of the Benavides-Marroquín
family honoring the memory of Theodore Benavides and Eva
Marroquín de
Benavides. They dreamed of a world without hunger, cultured
people,
committed to global and planetary citizenship, leading to true freedom
by culture, a culture of peace in El Salvador and throughout the world.
The Benavides-Marroquín
family realizes this commitment in cooperation with Siglo XXIII and Marta
Benavides, one of the six Salvadorans honored by the international
women's movement in the select group of 1000
Peace Women for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005, coordinates the work
of this organization.
